ICBS-R Project Warehouse Zone and Locations Numbering Aid
Terminology refresher • A zoneclassifies a set of locations with common properties • Zonescan have both tasks and locations ascribed to them • A location is the physical location where inventory is stored
More about locations • A location is always associated with a cache and a zone within the cache • It has attributes like aisle number, bay number, level number and bin number • Locations also have a capacity as measured in inches (H x W x D)
Location capacity size codes • Location capacity size codes will be assigned an alphabetic code according to different volume capacities measured in cubic inches (Length x Width x Height) • Location capacity size codes will be determined at each cache to match the existing location and storage configurement.
For example the alphabetic location size codes used at RMK are: 10 x 6.5 x 7 inches = 1/4 Bin = A code 28 x 24 x 4 inches = ½ Bin = B code 28 x 24 x 10 inches = Bin = C code 24 x 24 x 24 inches = ½ Pallet = D code 48 x 48 x 48 inches = Pallet = E code 48 x 48 x 96 inches = 2 Pallet High = F code 48 x 96 x 48 inches = 2 Pallet Wide = G code 96 x 96 x 48 inches = 4 Pallet = H code 48 x 48 x 192 inches = 4 Pallet High = I code
Storage location numbering • Location numbers (in storage and forward pick zones) designate the Aisle, Bay, Level and Bin or the mnemonic ABLB • Example: 09030209 - Aisle 09 • Bay 03 • Level 02 - Bin 09
Bulk zones • Bulk zones won’t necessarily have bay, level, and bin associated with them. Bulk zones with many pallets should be given row numbers. • Example: B1-01, B1-02, B1-03
Other locations • For other locations, the location numbering scheme is defined based on the particular needs of the zone • For example: • SHIP-SORT 01, SHIP-SORT 02 • RETURN-1
Wrap-up Many enterprises have used this tool successfully for several years We will learn more on how to best use its capabilities as we implement it at each cache
